Employment and Employee Rights

Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rights
in the workplace. Although much of the literature in this field
focuses on employee rights, this volume considers the issue from
the perspective of both employees and employers.

Considers the rights of both employees and employers.

Discusses the moral and legal landscape and traditional
assumptions about right in employment.

Investigates arguments for guaranteeing rights, particularly
for employees, which are derived from relational, developmental,
and economic bases.

Explores new dimensions of employment including a model that
incorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon our
understanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon our
justifications for recognizing and protecting rights.

"The authors challenge us to re-examine our understandings of
employment. They bring a broad historical awareness to their
distinctive theoretical reflections on topics such as due process,
job insecurity, meaningful work, and the changing nature of
employment. Readers with a practical bent should be convinced by
their analysis of progressive employment practices as
‘economic value added.’ For the more philosophically
inclined, they provide, at the outset, a clear and thoughtful
analysis of the foundations of moral rights – an unusual
element in texts on business ethics." John McCall, Saint
Joseph's University <!--end-->

"This is the latest and last word on employee rights. It’s
everything you wanted to know about employee rights, and it’s
a very practical, hands-on, business-oriented book. Every manager
will benefit from reading it. Every human resources manager simply
must read it." R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia
